Block listing application

Standard Life Equity Income Trust PLC (the "Company") made an application to the UK Listing Authority for a block listing for general business purposes of 2,519,500 ordinary shares of 25 pence each (the "Shares") to be admitted to the Official List of the UKLA and to the London Stock Exchange for the Shares to be admitted to trading on its main market. The UKLA held its listing hearing on 30 June 2014 and turned down the blocklisting application.

Shares will not therefore be issued under a block listing but instead, until such time as the Company is successful in applying for a blocklisting, will continue to be able to make applications for new shares to be admitted on the basis of one-off applications.  As a correction to the earlier announcement dated 30 June 2014, a block listing will not become effective at 8:00 a.m. on 1 July 2014.
